Chapter 487 - Not Everyone Can Sit on this Chair (1/2)
Florence was once an important city during the Renaissance of Europe. Even if humans entered the space era, this place still maintained the aura of Florence from the past. It did not transform into an ice-cold steel and concrete city due to the rapid development of social science and technology like Shenyang in Zhongzhou.
In Florence today, every brick was still full of artistic aura from the Renaissance. There were still a large number of tourists visiting every year, but few people knew that there was a huge family center settling in Florence.
Alexander – Europe’s once-glorified ancient family! This family had gone through several ups and downs and once again regained its glory with the constant changes of the times.
In the quiet manor, dozens of martial artists wandered around both openly and in secret. There were a couple of them hiding in the bunker, watching their surrounding secretly.
These armed forces were not designed to monitor or defend against sudden attacks from other large forces. The true powerful large forces would consider more for doing other things. Under normal or unnecessary circumstances, they wouldn’t launch an attack on a family headquarters.
These forces, either overt or covert, really only needed to safeguard against was in fact a few or few dozens of people who had just formed a group. These newly established forces always wanted to make a name for themselves in the shortest time. They had an exaggerated opinion of their abilities and they had nothing to fear. They often chose a large force as a way to hit the first shot.
The people in the upper echelons of the family were not all masters of martial dao strength. Some people who didn’t have martial dao talents had very good business ability, strong communication skills or outstanding ability in politics.
These people’s martial strengths were not strong and it was very easy for them to get shot in the back. These various security measures around had formed a protection net that claimed that even birds couldn’t fly into this place, protecting those who were not strong in martial strength.
A luxury and expensive car appeared near the manor. A large number of blonde and stylish men and women got off the car and walked into the manor’s living room with spring-like faint smiles.
The Alexander Family was a huge family. Everyone was normally very busy and there were few opportunities to gather together. Some people even had businesses on the outer planets.
After everyone met, it was natural for them to exchange pleasantries. In the living room of the room, people might be in groups of three or five or whispered in pairs. They would secretly look at the others around once in a while.
Today, the people who could be here were very clear about what happened to the Alexander’s Family. Diana Alexander, the acting patriarch had an irreconcilable contradiction with their true patriarch Caesar Alexander due to the direction of the family not long ago.
Diana, who had been willing to help Caesar Alexander, launched an important meeting to dismiss Caesar from his position today.
The patriarch was in charge of huge resources. He practically had the power to control the life or death of everyone in the family and every department. Normally, with Caesar having excellent martial arts talent and the help of Diana Alexander, everyone could only stare at the throne of the patriarch with jealousy.
This time, Caesar had rejected Zuo’s Family’s invitation to form an alliance for interest and chose a martial dao master who had little power in his hands. Caesar had made what seemed like the stupidest decision in history.
Anyone who could attend the meeting felt the patriarch’s throne waving to them. Even if they couldn’t get the patriarch’s throne this time, they would like to discuss everything with the supported one and wait for him to redistribute the benefits immediately after he assumed power.
The manor’s living room had gathered more than fifty people within half an hour. If the building of the house was not unique and the living room was large enough, it would be really difficult to put fifty people in the same room.
The door suddenly opened at this moment. Those who were whispering softly immediately stopped talking and looked at the front door. At the front door, Diana Alexander, dressed in Chinese costume with a bit of cold splendor on her face, walked slowly into the room with the indescribable feeling of a great lady.
Although she only acted on the behalf of the patriarch in years of executing the family, Diana had still succeeded in establishing a real authority in the eyes of everyone. Those who previously had thought of spying on and casting greedy eyes on the family’s throne for a time left this thought behind their heads. They were just thinking about how to get benefits for their small family at the conference.
As for the patriarch? The people secretly caught a glimpse of the three martial artists behind Diana and immediately gave up the idea of scrambling for it.
A sixteen-star level martial dao master plus two fifteen-star level martial dao masters, this strength was enough to suppress everything! Everything including the abolition of the disobedient patriarch, Caesar, could be done easily.
Diana Alexander looked around at the faint-hearted gaze of the people in the room and made a long sigh of helplessness in her heart. These people in front of her were outstanding elites in all fields, but there was a lack of vigor in their spirit akin to the magnificent momentum of a king that was surrounded by the masses!
Caesar had it! Diana thought that Caesar was even more disconsolate in his heart. In order to allow Caesar to concentrate on martial arts, she took on the burden of managing the whole family, except those that taught him the necessary abilities of a patriarch. All of this was for when his martial dao star-level strength raised to the point where it could not be promoted. Then she was going to let him take over this huge family while she just concentrated on assisting him.
“To make such an extreme choice for a so-called friendship.” Diana hated Qin Fen. She had to kill the best heir of the family that she personally had cultivated for years today with her hands.
People avoided the eyes of Diana. Her heart sighed again and again when she saw it. Caesar! Caesar! How many years it took for Alexander’s to raise such a Caesar!? Now it actually…
Diana accepted the salute of everyone and nodded arrogantly in return. She sighed and walked forward at an elegant pace and said to the people around her, “Everyone is invited here this time. I think everyone knows what happened, so I will not repeat anything. Now, please come with me to the conference room, we have to make a solemn vote for our great Alexander’s Family in the sacred meeting room.”
Diana walked in front of the team and the others were arranged according to their respective forces. They carefully followed behind Alexander’s “queen”.
The conference room was on the second floor. Diana walked on the pavement made of white jade. Every step she made was a clear thud. In everyone’s ears, it was just like the judge in the court tapping gently with a gavel before the judgment fell on Caesar.
On the second floor, there was a huge and decorated splendid door. Diana stopped her footsteps and the two maids quickly stepped forward and pushed the door open to welcome the queen of the Alexander Family.
The doors opened silently to both sides just like the prehistoric beast opening its terrible mouth. A ray of sunshine shone from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room to the door. Many people’s reaction in the first place was to cover their eyes against harsh sunlight with their hands.
Diana Alexander did not raise her hand to cover her eyes from the harsh light. Her arrogant face with cold confidence showed surprise and astonishment the moment the door of the conference room was pushed open.
The conference room which was supposed to be empty had already entered by someone else.
Caesar! People saw through their fingers clearly that the young man sitting on the throne of the conference room was Caesar whom everyone was going to dismiss in the meeting today!
That’s right! Diana’s eyebrows were gently twitching. On the seat of the patriarch throne in the conference room, Caesar sat with one leg over the other. His right elbow pressed against the handrail and his right hand slightly held in fist was against his right cheekbone, making it seemed like he had been waiting, with his head slightly cocked.
Poised, luxurious and magnanimous! Caesar sat casually on the patriarch throne. Everyone observed through the fingers and could feel a huge aura of power, some even had the idea of worshipping him.
King! Emperor! The words that showed the limitless power were flashing fast in everyone’s mind.
Diana crossed her hands in front of her abdomen and stood quietly outside the door looking face to face with Caesar at a distance.
Glaring light was cast on Caesar’s back and it spread to the door and every corner of the room. Diana’s heart trembled a little. How familiar this scene is!? This situation at this moment was so much like her father at one time, Odin Alexander’s aura of power!
